Q&A with multiple datasets on the same dashboard

Hi, I have a question: I am working with two data sets which are very similar just that one has a little more information than the other. I have these two datasets in power BI as shown in the pictu...

    I think you don't have this option..This was and option (still is ) to choose what data model to use in Power BI for O365 (V1) , with some others great options to monitor questions not found, usage, custom phrasing ,  in the Power BI admin center.

     

    Until ( I hope it will transfered to V2 ) then, when you pin a graph in dashboard it automatically reads the data model for Q&A

    Unfortunaly no. Only the one we configure gateways & stuff, which doesn't have any of the features of PowerBI V1 we are discussing..

Hey ajanson,

actually one source is a direct power pivot model, the other dataset is from a published .pbix file from power Desktop.

But since the dataset was similar thats why it was hard to see but it seems that the Q&A is performing its default behavior which is "selecting the most appropiate dataset for your Q&A question". Now just to clear out my question further, what i wanetd to know was , is there a way to select a dataset that i want to use regardless of if Q&A engine thinks of it the better source or not. So since we have two dataset, and when i type my question in Q&A it goes to source 1 automatically but i want it to go to the second dataset. Not sure if its possible to toggle between datasets manually.

I hope it further clears my quesiton now.

    Thanks Konstantinos

    It makes sense - since we are on that topic i was just curious, i know there was a admin console for Power BI for O365, is there is a admin console for Power BI V2 or it is the same console we use to configure any gateways and stuff -

    I apoligise if my question is a little vague :)

     

    Thanks,

    Sheikh
